We all know people who identify with their political party affiliation. We all know people who identify with the foods they choose to eat or not eat. People who identify with their personalities, their occupations, their social statues, their financial situation. And yet we have seen these things change in and for people, and these people themselves have not subsequently disappeared off of the face of the Earth. While we can identify with anything we choose, that does not mean that with which we identify is who we really are. For your whole life, you have always felt like YOU, despite the state of external people and events. Many people identify with their physical bodies. But of course, we are not our bodies, we have bodies and our bodies are our own. If I interact with someone who has had a limb amputated, I am not interacting with only 90% of a person. You have a foot, but you are not a foot. Many more people identify with their minds- their thoughts, memories,.emotions, or intellect. But of course our minds are objects of our perception, which means they can't be what is doing the perceiving. You have a mind, but you are not your mind. Who we really are is beyond mind, body, and attributes. One word that fits well is Light. Light, as a word to identify with, seems to satisfy people identify as spiritual, people that Identify as religious, and people who identify as scientific as a kind of common denominator. Light is not created or destroyed. Light is not good or bad. Light is free of value and judgment. Light is eternal. Light travels at a constant speed, and yet is in all places at once. Light can be perceived as a spectrum. Light can act like particles and like waves. Light is neither substance nor absence, but illuminates both. In this sense, Light is soul, Light is Spirit, and Light is star-stuff. Light is who we really are deep down. Everything else is just a story we tell ourselves about the past and sometimes the future. That story is no more real than anything else we can come up with in our head. It is a dream. You have been dreaming. And when you are completely ready to wake up, you will.

One way to describe the mechanism that allows humans to enjoy movies, television, and theater is 'temporary suspension of disbelief'. This implies that we engage in a conscious effort to subdue our acute intellectual awareness of the unreal or scripted nature of these media, as if we gave ourselves pep talks before we began watching/went into the theater. This is, of course, nonsense. Our ability to enjoy and be deeply moved by movies, television, and theater is based solely on the operational discrepancies between those parts of the brain that we consider responsible for our conscious mental activities and those parts of the brain that we consider responsible for causing emotional responses. Those latter parts have been collectively referred to as the limbic system, which evolved and were perfected in the animal brain well before humans ever came on the scene. The limbic system, like one would expect of an animal, can't tell the difference between what's happening on the screen/stage and what's happening directly to it/us. That's why when the couple finally gets together at the end or the underdog finally wins the day, it is easy to be more moved emotionally than we would be for anyone else we know in real life in similar situations. Our conscious mind provides us with feedback in the form of awareness that these emotions are a response to something external, artificial, and other than our own experience. That's why the fear that people opt for and even pay to feel by watching a scary horror movie is low grade and manageable- the conscious intellect is able to identify its cause. And that is also how humans are the only species to experience anxiety/panic, which is caused by the fruitless efforts of the conscious intellect to identify the source of the threat in the face of that same fear. If the conscious mind can't figure out where the fear is coming from, it freaks out and scrambles to find the threat that justifies the fear. The only thing that has changed for us from before the fear is the presence of the physiological symptoms of that fear- the increased heart rate, the tightness in the chest, the weirdness in the stomach and legs, the out-of-body feelings, the sense of impending doom, the racing thoughts- which renders these physical sensations themselves the prime suspects, despite the reality that none of them are in any way life threatening, even when brought on suddenly. The brain then reacts accordingly to the immediacy of the perceived threat by increasing it's threat response- fear- which in turn intensifies the experience of these bodily and mental/emotional sensations. This feedback spiral is the structure and propellant of a panic attack. This means that panic attacks in humans are caused by the conscious intellect interpreting changes in breathing rate, heart rate, cognitive content/pace, and other bodily systems (that are normal byproducts of the same yet manageable fear reponse felt in the movie theater) as dangerous. Of course our breathing rates, heart rates, and cognitive content/pace, etc. go up and down and change normally throughout the day and night, and their changing poses no actual threat to anyone's life at any time, despite it feeling like we're about to die once firmly in the grip of panic. In other words, for humans, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself". There is another way. Visit the site below to find out more.

The brain is an automating machine.

Automation occurs as a direct result of conscious- even if unintentional- rehearsal and repetition.

Sufficiently hostile circumstances necessitate hyper-conscious rehearsal, implementation, and repetition of defensive/protective reactions from a child.

This, in effect, automates these reactions.

The child is protecting themselves emotionally without any degree of awareness of the lasting effect that this conscious repetition would have.

Outside of these hostile circumstances, these adaptive programs (automated reactions) are not relevant or useful.

Thus one's behavior and/or mental activity is perceived as harmful at worst and extremely frustrating at best, by themselves and others.

These automated reactions must be deprogrammed in order to experience the full benefit of metaprogramming.

This deprogramming is best achieved through a combination of RRT and IFS.

Once the 'debris' of the past has been neutralized, a new foundation can be firmly established.

Metaprogramming is best achieved through cognitive rehearsal.
